Power Lawn Mowers...
Handle With Respect
The sliced foot . . . the piece
of wire driven through a leg
. . . the skull fractured by a
rock traveling at the speed of
_ 1 I 11 A! ? - f
a udseoaii . . . me piece 01 wire
clothes hanger that penetrated
a little boy's lung, punctured
it and caused his death . . .
Power lawn mowers can
shorten your hands, feet, even
your life. An 18-inch diameter
rotary mower turning 2500
revolutions per minute generates
blade tip speed of
slightly more than two miles
per minute, and bits of wire,
nails and such become deadly
projectiles which pierce like
arrows when hurled bv the
spinning blade.
A piece of wire, rock, nail,
wood chip or other foreign
material which finds its way
to your lawn can be given an
initial velocity of 120 miles
per hour if it is thrown by the
blades.
To reduce the hazards involved
to a minimum, the instructions
with the mower
should be read and followed
closely, and general precautions
and suggestions for operating
power lawn mowers
should be complied with.
There are numerous things
that can happen to you while
mowing your lawn; many
say. "It couldn't happen to
me," but it certainly could!
Listed below are numerous
opportunities for accidents to
happen while you are mowing.
An accident can happen
to you unless you:
Wear long, denim trousers
and heavy shoes (safety shoes
if possible).
Put out your cigarette before
filling the mower's gas
tank.
Comb the area first, clearing
it of any rocks, stones.

anv.r\a. \Mir, UltS UI VIM, rilDbish.
etc.
Mow along the slope of hills
and banks. Mowing crosswise
instead of up and down prevents
loss of control over the
machine. If you push a
mower up a steep hill and
slip, you'll probably turn
loose and it will roll back on
you. If vou pull it up a slipjl
porv hill and slip, your feet
v will slide right under the
_1_ housing and into the blade.
